Dream job / what you wanted to be when you were a kid

[Jessica]

I wanted to be a clothes designer at first...But i could make clothes quite easily and i got bored ( i was 9)..i then decided to become a ballet dancer and did ballet until i was 16, when i had an accident and broke both my anckles. I had to give up..

I then did a drama school course and singing because i was naturally being just that since i was a kid ?

So what do i want ?

To find jobs as an actress or a singer...

 ::)Everybody wants to be an actress or a singer.  I have news for you:  It's not going to happen.

[MCT]

Well, SLCPunk...polish up your writing skills

Yeah, that means learn how to spell words such as you're.  

You're is a contraction of You Are............... ...

I now present a piece entitled - Through the eyes of Dizzy (A story of senility):

Well, SLCPunk...polish up you are writing skills

............ ............sorry Diz......you walked into that one..........and it's just so fuckin' funny to pick a game off you..............

Yes, it will. That's something i already know about see. Not only will it happen, but i am going to make more than a decent living from it. And i'm not " everybody".I am Jessica and i am going to work.

Everyone, huh? Well I dont. I havent seen anyone else, other than our future porn star random, list these options either. Dont make ignorant statements when you attack someone. You will never get "Everybody" to agree on anything. And what the hell does it matter to you what she wants to do?

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

i think that everybdy wants to be an actor/actress too. come on.
well, Jess is kinda fucked up in the head (nicely ) so i she'll do a great actress  

i wanna be a film director.  

[Dizzy]

You're is a contraction of You Are............... ...

No fucking shit buddy.

Read on for further details of how MCT just made himself look like a complete ass!

sorry Diz......you walked into that one..........

Nope, it's you instead who made yourself look the fool, because I was NOT referring to the statement you quoted.  I was adding to what Sukie said about SLC Punk's spelling, not replying to her.  In other words, I was telling SLC Punk that he needed to learn how to spell "you're".  I was not correcting Sukie.  He frequently misspells the contraction "you're", where he says "your" instead, including in several replies to me.  I was not referring to any reply on this thread at all.  SLC Punk understood exactly what I meant, because I've prodded him about it several times in the past.

and it's just so fuckin' funny to pick a game off you

I'm glad you find defeat funny, because I just seriously kicked your ass at this game.  

Here's a tip: Don't EVER think you can best me at a grammar game, because you'll always end up with egg on your face, just like you did this time.

We should be more precise.  At some point in your life, you might have desired to be in the entertainment industry - I think that is true of most people.

But Jessica is serious about her aspiration, as in, it is not a passing fancy, then we should regard it as seriously as any other profession. With the possible exception of porn star.

I was kinda wondering the same thing myself...

Hey Jessica and everyone who's out to make their dreams come true, remember words from the wise.

Stop taking it so strictly.  "Everybody" meaning a lot of people, more so than any other profession.  You don't grow up and say "I want to be a cashier!"  or "I want to work at McDonald's".  You grow up and say things like "I want to be an actor, a rockstar, an author, etc".  There are thousands and thousands of people trying to become these things.  What are the odds?  The odds are that it ain't going to happen for you.

If I had a dime for every person I've known that wanted to be an actor, I'd be a rich man.  I've known people that were talented, and passionate, and thought they could get work, and guess what?  They're all working nowadays, but not as actors, and the dream is long gone.

haha, Dizzy ! Killin' me! That was funny, I'm glad I checked back on this thread.

For the record I am lazy and do often times see my spelling errors. But if you have ever looked around this board? HUH...I'd think the last thing you'd notice is my fuck ups. People write very poorly here. On another forum I actually do spell check before I post, just because...

Dizzy you can flame me anytime because I know it's in good humor and not because you are insecure and lonely.

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

Dizzy and SLCPUNK should get married. they're so cute together.

Drunk :

Not only have i worked in the past, but i was trained to be an actress for 3 years in an excellent british theatre school, and got a diploma at the end of it that says " highly commended".
Since i got out, i was got very small parts in TV films ( like everyone who starts) but got as far as having a very good part in a TV period drama and a small part in a big screen movie.

Acting and singing are my reason to wake up the morning. When i was little, there were many things i wanted to do and i would have been just as happy to be a profiler, because i am facinated with criminals. As i am fascinated with ancient languages ( like hyeroglyphs)..

But i happen to want to give emotions to other people, i can't help it. And i want to be praised and looked at, i am naturally the centre of attention in my daily life.

I also talk LOTS, so i may as well get paid for what i do best : TALK.

I want to work in what i was trained for. I didn't say i want to be famous, because i couldn't care less, but i do want to be either on stage or in a movie and be proud to work in what i love most.

If i got a permanent  part in a european equivalent of the SCI series, i'd consider that to be success.

I have done 25 different jobs, from being a waitress, to being a personal assistant, to being a nanny and whatnot, and what i do best is ...act and sing..

I agree with you on that a 100%. It is a very difficult  career field to break into and be successful. You still don't have to jump all over someone for wanting to attempt it.

Gee Diz........ ......seeing as how I inserted a legitimate apology into the end of my post, I figured that you'd take it in stride................

I now present to you...

Through the eyes of MCT (a story of idiocy and ignorance)

Read on for further details of how MCT just made himself look like a complete ass!

.......... ............you should have left it at the first part (which was actually funny)...................

sorry Diz......you walked into that one..........

Nope, it's you instead who made yourself look the fool, because I was NOT referring to the statement you quoted.

There was no evidence of that in your post Diz.........Therefore, one might surmise that you are somewhat lacking in the writing skills department........

For as you may or may not know, it is very important for a writer (in this case you) to be very clear and concise in their product (in this case your post) as you want a reader (in this case me) at the very, very least, to have a relatively easy go at absorbing your words...............

One can easily let you off the hook however, seeing as how the post contained an 'inside joke'............

and it's just so fuckin' funny to pick a game off you

I'm glad you find defeat funny, because I just seriously kicked your ass at this game.  

Hmmmmm..........how to respond.........

Perhaps I should take a stab at you in the reading comprehension department.............to say something to the effect of - I do not find defeat funny.......I find 'picking a game off you' funny...........

Perhaps I should hit you with a rather caustic response to your overbearingly undignified statement of - 'I just seriously kicked your ass at this game.' - with something to the effect of - Huh?........what game?.........I was just fucking around and having some fun................

But I won't (Hey!!!! A CONTRACTION), as I certainly have nothing to prove to you...........and as I'm not that insecure that I have to construct fictional scenarios where I am the champion (see - HERO) of my own intricate designs.....................then again.....such behavior is inherently and altogether human...........so I certainly can't fault you for that, as I would in essence, be faulting myself..............I can however say this:

Lighten up old man.........no harm intended.............

Here's a tip: Don't EVER think you can best me at a grammar game, because you'll always end up with egg on your face, just like you did this time.

Whatever you say Mr. Plethora...........(of course it's spelled correctly............. .........but I think you know where I'm coming from.........right?.......or left?)

Well, that's all good, and I hope you succeed, but just because you've got some credentials, doesn't mean everything is going to work out for you.  There's a lot of competition and there's a lot of people with more credentials than you, and there are people who are well connected.  Most times, even those people don't make it.  All I'm saying is that it is a tough business, and it's very unrealistic.

You went to school, but why haven't you done that much since then?  Older actresses have a tough time getting work.  If you truly want to be an actress, you have to find work.  It won't be handed to you.  Only successful actors are successful because they go on nonstop auditions for anything they can.


I understand that you want to be an actress, and you feel tha you have the credentials necessary to do so, but it's a tough business.  Credentials and even the highest motivation doesn't guarantee anything.

[Dizzy]

DRUNK....

My aspirations are also acting.  And if I had your attitude of "it's never gonna happen", I wouldn't have already appeared in three feature films and made numerous connections and opportunities, which grow every day.

[Dizzy]

Therefore, one might surmise that you are somewhat lacking in the writing skills department........

This begs the question of "have you ever read my posts?"  People around here may say a lot of terrible things about me,  but I assure you that nobody who reads my posts would ever insult my writing ability.

For as you may or may not know, it is very important for a writer (in this case you) to be very clear and concise in their product (in this case your post) as you want a reader (in this case me) at the very, very least, to have a relatively easy go at absorbing your words...............

One can easily let you off the hook however, seeing as how the post contained an 'inside joke'............

Exactly.  Honestly, despite the fact that I posted it on the public boards, it didn't even occur to me when I wrote it that others (besides SLC Punk) would bother reading it.

Huh?........what game?.........

and it's just so fuckin' funny to pick a game off you
